The aim of this article is to show how cultural heritage can be used for local development. The article takes the form of a case study, focusing on the rural commune of Stegna located in the Pomeranian Voivodship. The empirical material was provided by ethnographic research carried out in 2019, its subject-matter being cultural heritage understood according to the constructivist approach. The ethnographic study included desk research, observations of local initiatives, and individual interviews with representatives of the local community. The material thus gathered was interpreted using Gregory Ashworth’s concept of heritage planning. The article emphasised the fluid nature of heritage as a resource that can be used to initiate processes of local development. A particular situation is the presence of so-called “dissonant heritage”, the specific nature of which has a significant impact on its use in development processes.
